With Peace In Your Heart

He looked so devastated, that look upon his face So sorry he had waited, time he couldn't replace But there was his son, now some thirty years old Oh what had he done, as it all just seemed so cold His son shook his hand and then introduced his wife He didn't make any demands or ask about his life As his kids played off to the side not aware of anything This man had tried, in so the two toys he would bring After so much small talk they called out to their boys As over they began to walk in soon noticing the toys In mentioning his name the oldest replied Grand pop? Hugging him, as over he came, a hug he didn't want to stop He wiped away a tear as the youngest soon came to his side Holding him too so dear, but this time he broke down and cried In seeing his fathers tears and knowing all the pain he too had felt He just forgave all those years in accepting the hand he was dealt Not too many would be able to do this, to just forgive and forget But in so the point you'd miss, in waiting for payment of this debt He did not let the anger win, in fact he kicked it out of the game Ridding himself of this sin, it was God's blessings that soon came
